Item Description
3-5/8" wide by 31.5" tall by 3/8" thick wood with colorful chromolith images of comic characters climbing ladder. 36 offset nails are attached on either side of printed ladder. To be used as tumbling toy. Comes with 3.5" cut-out wood figure with paper image of Chinaman. Chinaman has one 'arm' shortened and is worn. Unauthorized but near exact likeness of Happy Hooligan and cop, Buster and Tige, Alphonse & Gaston, sailor and Katzenjammer Kids. Five nails are missing. Paper images remain bright, clean and well attached to wood. Often wooden toys of this age will have paper loss due to shrinkage. The printed paper on this toy remains very solid and intact. Scattered light vertical creases appear when held to reflected light but o/w a VF example. From the Gary Selmonsky collection.
